I came from a different state where I began officiating. When I moved to Kansas I was flabbergasted that kids don't weigh in on-site. When I asked several people why they don't weigh in on-site I was told that one reason is because there is too far to travel between some towns for meets. Therefore, having to get to a site 2 hrs earlier would make for too early of mornings for some Kansas teams.

I politely called BS having come from a more sparsely populated state but I heard this excuse from more than one source at the time.

Also, where I came from officials are paid an extra $25 for arriving 2 hrs early for weigh-ins. This is standard and I don't know if it would also have an effect on KSHSAA's decision.
